Ringdown analysis with rational filters. The properties of the rational filters can be found in Ma, et al. (2023a), Ma, et al. (2023b), and Ma, et al. (2022).

- The analysis of GW150914 can be found in code_demo/Filter.ipynb.
- Two injection systems with a numerical-relativity waveform (GW150914-like) are available at code_demo/NRInjection_bilby.ipynb and code_demo/NRInjection_customized_noise.ipynb.
- The evidence curve is a useful tool for determining the statistical significance of a quasinormal mode and for limiting its start time. An example is at code_demo/Evidence.ipynb.
